My goal is to display some data on a webpage that I have obtained with a Fetch using HTML.

My Fetch (which works) looks like this

<script>
  let response = fetch(
    ";venue.city=boston&client_id=MYAPIKEY"
  )
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((response) => console.log(response.events[0].title));
</script> 

The code works and logs a response to the console as I've requested. Now, I'd like to show some of the response on my webpage.

My attempts have looked something like this

<center><h2 id="response"></h2></center>    
<script>
      let response = fetch(
        ";venue.city=boston&client_id=MYAPIKEY"
      )
        .then((response) => response.json())
        .then((response) => console.log(response.events[0].title))
        .then((response) => {
          document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = response.events[0].title;
        });
    </script>

Context and details:

• I've done some mobile dev, but I'm a noob with even basic HTML/JS interaction on web so there are some holes in my knowledge here
• I'll be implementing this code injection as a code block on a Squarespace (Adirondack template, Adirondack family) but I don't think the Squarespace context should matter (the Fetch works just fine, and the code injection has been displaying other things just fine)
• Error from my attempt: VM22305 about:srcdoc:8 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'events' of undefined
• I'm not mitted to any particular way of displaying, I'm just trying to get the ball rolling by seeing something on the page

Thanks for your help!

• 1 The .then() callback where you log the response information does not return a value. If you just delete that .then() it should work. – Pointy Commented Jun 8, 2020 at 17:37

Your second then is console logging and returning nothing (console.log returns undefined), so in the next then statement the response is undefined.

Change your code to:

<center><h2 id="response"></h2></center>    
<script>
      let response = fetch(
        "https://api.seatgeek./2/events?per_page=100&venue.city=boston&client_id=MYAPIKEY"
      )
        .then((response) => response.json())
        .then((response) => {
          console.log(response.events[0].title);
          return response;
        })
        .then((response) => {
          document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = response.events[0].title;
        });
</script>

And it should work.

If you want a chain of thens, you need to return a promise to the next one, like this:

let response = fetch(
        "https://api.seatgeek./2/events?per_page=100&venue.city=boston&client_id=MYAPIKEY"
      )
        .then((response) => response.json())
        .then((response) => {
          document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = response.events[0].title;
        });
